One time I was on a old computer with Visual Basic Express 2008.
It started bothering me about a license key.
EDIT:Oops...it's telling me to restart.

It is free, but you need a Windows Live account if you want to get a key.

The unregistered product is for "evaluation purposes only", I think it says that in the splashscreen. Registration (for Visual Studio Express) is free, although you do need a Windows Live ID. Visual Studio (not Express) costs money.
